photographers won the opportunity to shoot the covers of
BRIDES and Condé Nast Traveler, and assist a
celebrity photographer on a cover shoot for Vanity Fair.
Wix and Condé Nast teamed up for the #LookStunning campaign to
award global photographers the chance to turn their passion into a
once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity. Thousands of photographers
from over 150 countries and 35 languages submitted their online
portfolios for the chance to win.
Congratulations to the winners:
- Nicholas La, originally from China and now a resident of the San Francisco Bay Area, will be shooting the
cover of Condé Nast Traveler. Nicholas is an urban and
landscape photographer. He has traveled the globe photographing the
world's most beautiful sites, inspiring people to travel and do
what they love.
- Max Montgomery, of New York
City, will be shooting the cover of BRIDES. Max moved
from the U.K. to New York City,
and was born and raised in the photography industry. He has shot
for numerous magazines including Vogue Italia,

to see new things.
Each of the winners will be sent to their shoot location, where
Wix and Condé Nast will create a behind-the-scenes film to share
with aspiring photographers everywhere to show what it's like to be
on a shoot for one of the world's most popular magazines. In
